Basically, Star Wars has a better framerate

by Andrew Yoon on Aug 12th 2007 12:30AM

The basics of the upcoming PSP-exclusive Battlefront are explained in this new IGN video. We're impressed by some of the gameplay choices, such as the intelligently designed lock-on system. The longer you hold the lock-on button, the better your aim will be. While the gameplay looks to be shaping up nicely, we're glad to say that it appears the graphics are also getting better. The framerate has become far more stable -- it looks like the game is actually playable! There's still more time left for development, but we're glad to see the game make such significant strides over the past few weeks.

[Thanks, Don!]

good hopefully it starts looking even better in time for launch. when the showed the video footage at E3 it was sooo embarrassing, it looked like crap.

OMG this looks kewl, maybe all of the users here that have been knocking this game can start tasting a little crow!

The AT-AT's, is it me or has there movement articulation seem more enhanced by far than what we say in SWBF II??

And to repeat my post from another thread, the 333MHZ speed will apply for single player (but not online multiplayer), as mentioned in the Q&A with the dev blog:

"Fuzzy_Wuzzy_Bunny: Will this Battlefront title utilize the full processing power of the PSP? (I have heard rumours that newer games are planning on unlocking the full potential of the PSP's hardware.)

Mike R: The single-player portions of the game will indeed be using the full 333mhz. We are not allowed to use this in multiplayer (due to the power consumption of the Wi-Fi hardware), but rest assured that in both modes you'll experience a smooth framerate."

"Alexr044: Are the load times OK?

Ryan: They’re better than most PSP games, with loading times at 10 seconds or less."

Nice.
